Full Professorship for General and Special Botany at the University of Rostock, Germany Deadline for applications: December 4th, 2025 The Institute of Biosciences at the University of Rostock addresses organismic and molecular questions across the full range of biosciences. The successful candidate will address the evolution of representatives of the Streptophyta in the course of adaptation processes (e.g. transition from water to land or adaptation to environmental factors such as drought, temperature or light stress) by also incorporating the genomic level of a wide range of species, thereby strengthening the existing research profile of the faculty. In addition to in-depth knowledge of botanical systematics, the application of state-of-the-art methods such as high-throughput sequencing is explicitly desired as part of the current and future research portfolio. The present faculty's expertise includes the recognition of environmental signals, the structure and function of energy-converting complexes, and the enzymatic synthesis and degradation of sugar polymers in photoautotrophic organisms such as cyanobacteria, algae and plants. The professorship is associated with the management and development of the university's botanical garden, which is to be actively incorporated into research. Furthermore, collaboration with the institute's research initiatives is expected, as is a willingness to engage in interdisciplinary scientific work within the framework of the university's interdisciplinary faculty. The professorship is to represent botany in its entirety in courses for the bachelor's degree program in biological sciences and the teacher training programs in biology. The professorship is also expected to contribute substantially to teaching in the Master's program "Functional Plant Sciences". Supportive participation in teaching on nature and species conservation as well as evolution is desired. A qualified doctorate, several years of independent research activities, preferably also internationally, a habilitation or habilitation-equivalent achievements, as well as the willingness and documented ability to acquire third-party funded research projects, are also required, as is the willingness to participate in academic self-administration. Applications must include the following documents: full CV, description of academic and professional career, list of peer- reviewed publications, list of previous teaching activities, any additional qualifications in university didactics and previous third-party funding, as well as a description of future research plans and a teaching concept Applications should be sent to the University of Rostock, Dean of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Wismarsche Stra�e 45, 18057 Rostock or by email to dekan.mnf@uni-rostock.de.
